He got into an accident and he started with painkillers...that wasn't enough. He smoked pot...wasn't enough...eventually it was shooting up heroine. I won't go into my pathetic childhood story...but in the end he died.
NowI could have ended up a raging druggie or not.
I drink...I do. I have alcoholism all over my family..both sides. My moms dad died of it and my dads mother as well.
But somehow I was given the curse ( or blessing) of a weak stomach that can take about 3 glasses before I throw up. Never changes.
I have smoked pot. It made me feel sick and tired. I have gone into really bad throwing up fits because of it and I act really stupid.
I don't see any point. I won't ever try anything else because I don't see the point. To lose your head isn't worth it. To ease the pain isn't worth it. Its easier to buy something fattening to eat, go on a shopping spree or sleep it off, but drugs...
Every kid I work with does drugs. Nice kids...but they ALL do it. They are younger or my age...and they all...alllllllllll do it. They spend all their money on pot and more. Most of them don't even want to. Is their lives so hard or are we so conditioned never to feel anything but pure goodness?
I just don't know. This is always a weird subject, especially since I tried pot and drink. Im not better than anyone else but I will get on the soapbox just to get people to stop. I wish they didn't even exist!

I'm so sorry to hear about that, Janet. Your post struck a chord with me because my father was also a heroin addict and there is a history of alcoholism in my family on both sides. It got so bad that my father ended robbing ten convenient stores over a one month period just to get his fix. After I discovered it, I was the one who turned him in. Now, he's in prison, but rightfully so; it's where he belongs for the things he did. It's because of things like this that I'm so set in my beliefs about drugs and why no one should take them. I feel that people who do drugs, even sporadically, are stupid for doing it. The risks that are involved and the fact that no one these days is ignorant to the effects of drugs just drive me bonkers when people say they take drugs. Add to it that people lose respect for you when you take drugs. it isn't worth it and I agree, I wish they didn't exist!
